The humongous 49-inch ultrawide Samsung CHG90 QLED monitor is a gamer’s delight

Every gamer wants more virtual screen real estate to game on but it’s usually something that comes at a premium or which needs multiple monitors hooked up in tandem. Samsung’s spanking new CHG90 is the proverbial monitor equivalent of Buckingham palace as it’s currently the world’s largest QLED gaming monitor with a mammoth 49-inch panel.

The CHG90 is a single, gently curved 49-inch QLED “Quantum Dot” VA panel that offers 3,840 x 1080 resolution, a 3000:1 contrast ratio and an ultra wide 32:9 aspect ratio.  It’s so wide that it’s the equivalent of two 27-inch Full HD panels put together which means more screen real estate not just for gaming but for paperwork as well as you’re able to plonk a ton of spreadsheets all over the panel without having to swap between them all.

The panel even has an Easy Setting Box function that efficiently divides your screen into neat windows at the press of a button for more efficient viewing. The CHG90 also has another interesting trick up its sleeve as it has the ability to support two external connections simultaneously so that it acts as two separate screens. Now, that’s multitasking.

On the gaming front, the CHG90 also features AMD Radeon FreeSync support and has a brisk 144Hz refresh rate which ought to endear it to competitive gamers though you can dial it to 60Hz or 120Hz as necessary. According to Samsung, the panel also offers 95% DCI-P3 coverage as well as 125% sRGB coverage in addition to HDR support which means watching movies on this ought to be a real treat if you have compatible HDR content.

The Samsung CHG90 monitor retails for RM6,499 and is now available nationwide. If you purchase a CHG90 from now until the end of the year 31 December 2017 at selected authorised dealers, you’ll get a free Galaxy J7 Pro phone that’s worth RM1,199 on the house.

That’s quite a deal indeed as the J7 Pro is of recent vintage with a 5.5-inch 1080P Super AMOLED display, an Exynos 7870 octacore paired with 3GB RAM and 32GB of storage and has a rear 13-MP f/1.9 snapper.
